Sitting still
Does the catbird seat
Make a lap

A bird discovers a cast of unique chairs.
Each unique chair inspires a unique quote.
Does each chair also create a unique lap?
I think we should ask a cat about that.
(I’d ask mine but now he’s sleeping
in my office chair.)
You wouldn’t believe how many laps I made while the birds found their chairs and the chairs found the quotes. Btw, the cat for which I am a member of the house staff, is now asleep with its paws in the air, in my, well, our chair by the wood stove, so it’s hard to tell by looking, but do cats ever make a lap? 🙂
I never thought about it but I don’t think a cat has a lap of its own. Maybe that is why they use our laps. They do have tails unlike us, and we all have tales.
Well done, team L & S. I guess I missed this one.
Always a seat for you hear, George, whether it makes a lap or not. Thanks for taking it.
